Sustainable Waste Oil Collection
At Waste Vegetable Oils, our mission is simple: to create a cleaner, more sustainable future by collecting and recycling used cooking oils in the most environmentally responsible way. Based in Leeds and operating across West Yorkshire, we don’t just talk the talk—we climb the climb. Literally.
Our passion for sustainability and renewable energy solutions goes beyond the basics. Every barrel we collect contributes to cleaner air, a reduced carbon footprint, and more renewable fuel sources. Whether it’s a kitchen, restaurant, food production site, or remote location, we are committed to picking up your waste oil—no matter how far or high we need to go.
Why Sustainability Matters
The global shift toward sustainability is no longer optional—it’s necessary. Waste vegetable oil, when disposed of improperly, can contaminate water supplies, block sewage systems, and harm the environment. But when recycled, this waste becomes a valuable resource for creating clean, renewable energy such as biodiesel and biomass fuels.
By using our services, you’re directly contributing to a circular economy. We help businesses and institutions not only meet compliance standards but also become active participants in reducing environmental impact.
What Makes Us Different?
Our company philosophy is rooted in dedication. We don’t shy away from difficult jobs or out-of-reach places. That’s why we use the image of a climber on a mountain with a barrel strapped to his back—to demonstrate our commitment to service and the lengths we’ll go to protect the planet.
When we say we go the extra mile for sustainable fuel, we mean it. That includes:
- Collecting from remote or difficult-to-access locations
- Ensuring barrels are securely transferred and traceable
- Maintaining proper documentation and transfer notes
- Partnering with licensed processors to convert waste oil into biofuel
How the Process Works
We’ve streamlined our process to be as efficient and eco-conscious as possible:
- You request a barrel or arrange a pickup via phone or our online form.
- We collect your used vegetable oil on schedule or upon request.
- Every pickup comes with full documentation, including waste transfer notes for legal compliance.
- We transport the oil to certified, sustainable processing facilities that turn it into clean biofuel or biomass energy.

The Environmental Impact
Recycling used vegetable oil reduces landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps displace fossil fuel usage in the transportation and industrial sectors. In fact, biofuels made from waste oils can cut emissions by up to 85% compared to petroleum diesel.
Beyond fuel, waste oil derivatives are used in manufacturing cleaning products, soaps, and even cosmetics—adding even more value to every barrel you recycle with us.
